The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a lightweight signaling protocol developed by Henning Schulzrinne at Columbia University. It is designed for initiating, modifying, and terminating multimedia sessions such as telephony and video conferences. SIP allows for personal mobility and supports both unicast and multicast conferencing. It operates over UDP or TCP and features methods for call forwarding, transferring, and handling distinctive ringing. SIP's flexibility and text-based format make it a vital component for network communication. For further details, visit http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/sip.
